Chelsea goes over to Crimson Lights, where she shares her concern with Sharon about Adam teaming up with Nick to go after Matt in Las Vegas. Sharon assures Chelsea that Adam will be able to handle any bad associations from his past in Vegas that might be dredged up and will have Nick there for support.

Meanwhile, the two brothers go over to the Newman ranch to let their father know that they got a lead on Matt being in Las Vegas and they are heading there to follow up on it. Victor tells his sons that he’s happy that they are working together to protect the family, advising caution.

Victoria enters and announces that she is heading to Milan to meet with Summer and that Victor is holding Jack hostage to “pressure Phyllis and/or Billy” into returning Chancellor to the family. Nick is shocked and appalled by this and by Victoria being ok with it.

Nikki shows up at the Abbott mansion to talk to Traci about Jack’s disappearance. She informs Traci that Victor has had Jack abducted in exchange for Chancellor and Jack is on a yacht on Lake Michigan with a woman. When Traci brings up how Lily and her children were part of Victor’s scheme to abduct them, Nikki indicates that Victor not only wants Chancellor back, but he also wants to punish Jack so this abduction has been against Jack’s will. She also tells Traci that Victor could have arranged for the woman to seduce Jack. Traci tells her not to worry and that Jack would not succumb to temptation.

Billy, Kyle and Diane are able to get to the yacht where a drugged up Jack is giving into having sex with a relentless Patty Williams. Diane bursts into the bedroom and catches Jack and Patty in bed together immediately afterward, with Billy and Kyle racing in right behind Diane. Patty declares that it’s a party with all the Abbott men in one place. Diane is livid and when Patty gets dressed and is made to leave the room with Billy and Kyle, Diane slaps Jack across the face.

After Traci and Nikki find out that Jack has been found safe, Nikki confronts Victor with this news in front of their children when she returns to the Newman ranch. Victor doesn’t believe her and leaves to find out more. Nick argues with Victoria about her dragging his daughter into their father’s battle to get the family legacy back from Phyllis.

After the Newman siblings leave, Victor returns and Nikki expresses her disgust about what he did to Jack. He tells her that he did it for his family’s sake. She says she does not know that she will be able to forgive him for it. He indicates that he doesn’t give a damn and screams at her to get out now.

Noah joins Audra at the GCAC bar, where they reminisce about their time together in London and chat. Things are very friendly and light between them, until she mentions that she just got her dream job and is now working for Spectra-Charles Media. Noah is appalled because this company is the re-branded Newman Media, which Billy Abbott stole from his uncle, Adam. Noah is incredulous and asks Audra how she is okay working for an illegally-obtained company.

Kyle saunters up to the bar and joins their conversation, curious to hear Audra’s answer to Noah’s question. Audra says that she has not broken any laws because she was not involved in what happened to Newman Media. She explains that Billy struck some deal with Phyllis to get Newman Media and Chancellor, and then he had her fold Newman Media into Abbott Communications. He then moved to Chancellor and gave it to Sally. Kyle sides with Audra, indicating that he’s “good” with Victor and the Newman family losing their company, given the bad history between his family and Victor, and how Victor has threatened or hurt half the town. Kyle also indicates that he’s okay with Adam losing Newman Media and the loss of the Newman legacy. He laughingly says that Nikki can sell some jewelry and the Newmans will be “dandy.”

Chelsea runs into Sally at Crimson Lights, where they argue about Billy teaming up with Phyllis. Chelsea tries in vain to persuade Sally to side with her, to protect Billy and get him to do the right thing – returning the company to the Newman family. She’s concerned about Victor and Adam seeking revenge on Billy. Sally mentions that she broke up with Billy and re-branded the company to Spectra-Charles Media. She refuses to help Chelsea and walks out on her.

Nick and Victoria are at the Newman Ranch, discussing Phyllis’s takeover of Newman Enterprises. Victoria presents her plan to get Newman Enterprises back, telling Nick she is going to Milan soon to talk face-to-face with Summer, to get her to turn her back on Phyllis. She hopes this is a way to get Phyllis to ultimately cave and give the company back to Victor and the family. Nick is against Victoria’s plan because he believes that Victor will prevail, and he does not want his daughter being involved in the family conflict and becoming alienated from her mother. He declines Victoria’s request for him to come with her to Milan to talk to Summer. He instead persuades her to hold off for the night, so he can try to come up with another solution that would protect Summer and keep her out of the line of fire.

At Society, the three Newman siblings discuss Dominic’s kidnapping and the latest developments, as well as Victor having Lily and Cane’s children kidnapped, and Lily going along with it. Victoria tells her brothers that she thinks their dad is not telling the truth about it. She claims that Cane is calling Victor’s bluff and planning retaliation against the entire family. She tells them she put together a plan to go against Phyllis legally, to get her to roll over on Cane behind their father’s back. Nick is against it because he thinks Lily is angry enough at Cane to go along with Victor’s plan; also, he thinks Lily is in on Victor’s plan in order to get Chancellor back. Victoria holds her ground and wants them to stick together and go behind their father’s back to save their family company by using Phyllis. The three of them simultaneously receive texts from Victor, summoning them to the ranch ASAP.

Victor and Nikki argue about him making Cane think that Lily and their children are in danger and him shutting her and their kids out of his plans to get Newman Enterprises back. He receives and shows her a photo on his phone of Lily and the twins at a hotel, appearing to be alright, and she apologizes for doubting him. He sends a copy of the photo to Cane.

When Victoria and her brothers arrive at the Newman ranch, Victor tells them Cane seems ready to make a deal. He shows them the photo of Lily and Cane’s kids taken at the hotel in Southern California as proof that his kidnapping scheme is proceeding as planned. The Newman siblings are skeptical but curious.

Holden and Claire are at an outdoor cafe in Los Angeles. She tells him she came to LA with him to get a break from Audra in Genoa City.  He lets her know he’s in LA on a personal matter for Cane, to oversee the search for Lily and Cane’s children. She is appalled, given what Cane is doing to her family, but she sticks around in LA with Holden, so she can secretly find out about the disappearance of the art gallery owner there.

Phyllis is in Victor’s old office at Newman Enterprises, flashing back to when she angrily berated him. She also reviews ideas to redecorate the office. Billy enters, asking where Cane is. They bicker, and then Cane comes in, announcing a change in plans. He tells Billy he can’t sign off on giving him Chancellor yet because there’s a bump in the road. Billy gets angry, and Phyllis tries to intervene, but they’re all interrupted when Cane gets a phone call from Holden. He lets Cane know that the PI got hold of security footage of Lily and the children being led away from a hotel in downtown LA by someone in a baseball cap, and driven away in a black SUV with no license plate, looking scared. Then Cane gets the photo of Lily and his kids from Victor. He orders Billy to leave and then tells Phyllis about what the PI found out. He shows her the photo Victor sent and has a meltdown.

Billy goes home; Phyllis barges in to his place. She says that Cane is folding and that they’re about to lose everything. She tells him she needs his help with a way that would enable him to hold onto Chancellor for the rest of his life, but they have to act “so fast”.

Cane bursts into Newman Ranc,h calling Victor a “son of a bitch”. He tells Victor that he wins, demanding that Victor show him proof that Lily and the twins are safe and have been released, and then Victor can have his company back.
